Acinetobacter boumannii has emerged in the last decades as a major cause of healthcare-associated Infections and nosocomial outbreaks. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. boumannii Is a rapidly emerging pathogen in healthcare settings, where it causes infections that include bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, and urinary tract and wound Infections. Antimicrobial resistance poses great limits for therapeutic options in infected patients, especially if the isolates are resistant to the carbapenems. Other therapeutic options include sulbactam, aminoglycosides, polymixyns and tigecycline. The discovery of new therapies coupled with the development of controlled clinical trial antibiotic testing combinations and the prevention of transmission of MDR Acinetobacter infection are essential to face this important hospital problem,

From Syndemic Lesson after COVID-19 Pandemic to a Systemic Clinical Risk Management Proposal in the Perspective of the Ethics of Job Well Done

Francesco De Micco, Anna De Benedictis, Vittorio Fineschi, Paola Frati, Massimo Ciccozzi, Leandro Pecchia, Rossana Alloni, Nicola Petrosillo, Simonetta Filippi, Giampaolo Ghilardi, Laura Leondina Campanozzi, Vittoradolfo Tambone

Summary: This communication introduces the Systemic Clinical Risk Management (SCRM) model for enhancing quality of care and patient safety through better interpretation of data and synthesis of different elements. An internal Learning Algorithm Risk Management (LARM) level is devised to prevent uncontrolled decision-making related to technology use. The model also advocates for bioethical co-working and suggests the best course of action from a scientific standpoint.

Summary: This study compared the antibody response to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in solid organ transplant recipients and healthcare workers. The results showed that healthcare workers had significantly higher antibody levels compared to solid organ transplant recipients, and the antibody levels in both groups varied over time. Specific factors and medications may influence the antibody response in solid organ transplant recipients.

Colonisation with Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporin-Resistant Enterobacterales and Infection Risk in Surgical Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis and found that patients colonised with extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (ESCR-E) before surgery are more likely to develop postoperative infections. Preoperative screening for ESCR-E in adult inpatients may help reduce the incidence of surgical site infections.

Neutralizing Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Beta and Omicron Variants Inhibition Comparison after BNT162b2 mRNA Booster Doses with a New PETIA sVNT Assay

Marta Fogolari, Bruno Daniele Leoni, Marina De Cesaris, Rita Italiano, Flavio Davini, Ginevra Azzurra Miccoli, Daniele Donati, Luigi Clerico, Andrea Stanziale, Giovanni Savini, Nicola Petrosillo, Massimo Ciccozzi, Lorenzo Sommella, Elisabetta Riva, Paolo Fazii, Silvia Angeletti

Summary: This study evaluated the neutralizing response to Beta and Omicron variants following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination using a new commercial automated assay and compared it to the gold standard. The results showed that IgG levels decreased during the first ninety days after the vaccine second dose, but significantly increased after the booster dose. There was a correlation between IgG expression and neutralizing activity modulation, with a greater quantity of IgG antibodies needed to neutralize the Omicron variant compared to the Beta variant. The study suggests the usefulness of the PETIA assay for managing SARS-CoV2 infection.

SARS-CoV CH.1.1 Variant: Genomic and Structural Insight

Liliana Bazzani, Elena Imperia, Fabio Scarpa, Daria Sanna, Marco Casu, Alessandra Borsetti, Stefano Pascarella, Nicola Petrosillo, Eleonora Cella, Marta Giovanetti, Massimo Ciccozzi

Summary: In early February 2023, the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5, known as Kraken, accounted for over 44% of new COVID-19 cases globally, while a newer subvariant named CH.1.1, called Orthrus, accounted for less than 6% of new cases in subsequent weeks. This emerging variant carries a mutation observed in other highly pathogenic and transmissible variants, highlighting the need for active surveillance. Genomic data and molecular modeling were used to understand the global distribution and potential implications of this variant, including increased transmission and potential vaccine resistance. This variant shares common mutations with Omicron-like strains and was found to be already circulating in Europe before its detection, emphasizing the importance of whole genome sequencing for detecting and controlling emerging viral strains.

Avian Influenza: Could the H5N1 Virus Be a Potential Next Threat?

Elena Imperia, Liliana Bazzani, Fabio Scarpa, Alessandra Borsetti, Nicola Petrosillo, Marta Giovanetti, Massimo Ciccozzi

Summary: Avian influenza virus poses a significant challenge to poultry production and has negative impacts on the global economy and public health. When the virus is circulating in poultry, there is a risk of sporadic human infections through exposure to infected poultry or contaminated environments. The effectiveness of countermeasures, including vaccines and antiviral treatments, is often debated due to resistance to antivirals and the relatively low efficiency of influenza vaccines.

Khosta: A Genetic and Structural Point of View of the Forgotten Virus

Fabio Scarpa, Elena Imperia, Alessandra Ciccozzi, Stefano Pascarella, Miriana Quaranta, Marta Giovanetti, Alessandra Borsetti, Nicola Petrosillo, Massimo Ciccozzi

Summary: Bats are natural reservoirs of coronaviruses, including the viruses that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Two new Sarbecoviruses were discovered in bats in Russia in late 2020, but they are currently not believed to be dangerous or likely to cause spillover events. They have weak interactions with ACE2 and lack furin cleavage sites. This research highlights the importance of assessing the zoonotic potential of batborne coronaviruses to prevent future spillover events.
